MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

On Wright’s “missing context” argument and “attacking the black church”

I think Reverend Wright has made the point a thousand times now–as has Barack Obama and his disciples–that we (the detractors) are taking things out of context. This is the most profoundly stupid argument I’ve heard, and it’s in fact yet another insult to imply such a thing.

Do they think we’re stupid? I thought so at first–that they thought we’d just accept that argument and not bother looking at “the context.” I don’t think so any more. Just what the hell sort of “context” are the apologists talking about? I heard the “context” that they want me to hear, I watched the Moyers interview (accurately called “Nerf Tee-Ball” by Jim Geraghty), I watched the “right-brained” speech at the NAACP and the “attack on the black church” speech and Q&A (accurately called a “horror show” by Baldilocks) and there’s nothing that makes “God damn America” sound like anything BUT “God damn America!” There’s nothing that makes what he said in the sound bites one bit more palatable.

I think some of the Obama/Wright apologists don’t even know what the hell “context” means. I actually think they heard this used as an excuse for some other faux pas somewhere, and thought it’d work in this case. I do not doubt at all any more that Wright and his apologists are that clueless and incapable of seeing how absurd the “context” argument is in this case. I can’t believe there’d be such a well-coordinated, synchronized blatant, nonsensical lie being pushed; it seems like it can only be blindness fueled by the echo chamber. It’s like proclaiming to the world that in fact, two plus two IS five, you dumbass right-wingers!

Of course, we’re all missing the point, the context, because we are racists, we’re evil, et cetera. Of course. If we only heard even more of what he says, we’d see that Reverend Jeremiah Wright is absolutely correct in everything he says. Why, it’s in the Bible! And how could we possibly miss it? It’s our own fault because we don’t like The Black Church™, which, of course, all teaches leftist liberation theology. They all say God damn America!

Baldilocks nails it, though - it’s actually not stupidity, it’s the megalomania and leftist orthodoxy of Wright and black liberation theology:

Megalomaniacs—a special species of narcissist–want the right to say and do anything they wish, but will deem any criticism of what they say and do as “unfair” (or “evil,” if they have some power over the critic). The criticism is never an honest difference of opinion or a mistake. And of course it is utterly impossible that the words, deeds and/or judgment of the narcissist are ever wrong. EVER. So it must be that those who oppose the narcissists words/deeds/judgment are willfully wrong and, therefore being unfair and unjust.

It is “unfair,” you see, to have a different opinion than Reverend Wright because, in his mind, any idea of his, especially one springing from his religion—a religion specially made for the self-indulgent–falls automatically in the realm of Good. Conversely, any opposing idea–specifically, opposing the idea that America is a whole-scale Oppressor, a Devil according to BLT - falls automatically under the rubric of the Enemy and will be judged as “unfair.”

Context. If you’ve seen “the context” and you disagree with Jeremiah Wright’s assessment of God, the world, and America, you are attacking the black church. You’re a hater.

Hater!
